Owner of Romanian Club Steau Bucharest Gigi Becali has publicly said that his outfit cancelled the contract of Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muniru because he does not want black footballers in his team.
Becali has shockingly said publicly that signing black footballer  brought bad luck to the former UEFA Champions League winners.
Sulley Muniru, the brother of Ghanaian International Sulley Muntari parted ways with Steau in May two-years into a four-year contract.
Media speculation initially suggested that the deal was cancelled because the Ghanaian had a clash with a team-mate at the club’s training group.
It has now been confirmed that the burst up with Florin Tanase as said by manager Nicolae Dica was not the the reason but because Muniru is black.
Sources claim that head coach had decided on a central defender, but when they presented him to Gigi they had a shocking response: “He’s black, I do not want blacks in the team. If they come, they only bring bad luck. â€
Gigi is a member of Parliament and is also one of the wealthiest men in Romania. He has often been tagged as a racist.
He has now publicly disclosed the real reason behind the termination of the contract of the Ghanaian.
"Muniru had behavioral problems, he jumped with his fists and legs on a player,I got rid of him, I do not need any more color players,†Becali said.
